That is why furniture comes with those fixings to attach them to the wall! All of the IKEA stuff we have bought over the last 15 years has had some form of fitting to anchor it to the wall...

+1. It's been on every Ikea wardrobe, bookshelf and dresser that we've bought. It's one of the last instructions. I suspect most people don't want to fix it to the wall. IIRC there's a lawsuit (probably in America) against Ikea about this.

Yeah, I've a vague memory of a lawsuit. Nobody wants to drill into their wall, and especially after finally figuring out a big-ass Ikea unit. Or you think 'I must do that...', or 'It'll never happen.' Ikea stuff is often vastly overrated and overpriced, it's just nobody else can store and ship on their scale whilst simultaneously getting noticed. It's bad when I can buy better quality stuff in Belfast for cheaper from a local store! All without walking round the most depressing place that doesn't have 'HMP' in front of it's name. _________________Plain English advice on everything money, purchase and service related:

Last time I went I was very surprised to see a short cut marked for the market place. I just wanted a picture frame so was pleased I wouldn't have to walk around the whole damn thing! _________________Still the official cheeky one

Ah, channel four. Back when people could still be shocked by TV. Now it's more like 'Have you SEEN reality? Switch that TV on, we're not going outside!' _________________Plain English advice on everything money, purchase and service related:

Yep it's now a reality show channel. Hardly any fiction. I started watching Shameless again the other night. Not as long ago but there's a hell of a lot exposed in the first ever episode lol. I'd forgotten about that ha! _________________Still the official cheeky one

Try No Offence on channel 4. Series 1 was excellent, series 2 started last night and got off to a flying (or more appropriately explosive) start.

That's a thing? I thought that was something Hollywood dreamt up for a second rate film...
